ROB MURRAY // February ’25 Mix

Painstakingly sculpted, multifaceted, and constantly evolving heady aural microcosm, which releases hypnotic tension on a tactile and crystal-clear swaying rhythmic carpet rippled by razor-sharp beats, whizzy glitchy resonances, and deep bass grooves under a canopy of processed echoing whimsical vocalizations to arouse a deeply immersive equally lucid and elusive oneiric dimension.
